Soccer/Netball Gala Day

Some St Mary's students are attending a Gala Day for students in the Diocese (Northern Cluster) to come together and play against each other, representing their Schools in Inverell on Friday, September 18th . These are not trials for further representation, they are simply a fun day for students to enjoy a day of Netball or Soccer. The bus will leave St Mary's by 7.15am and will return about 3.30 - 4.00pm. Thank you to all parents assisting with coaching on the day. 

 

Netball: will be run in two divisions and can be mixed or straight teams but everyone will be playing each other (only 10 in a team - no modified rules). 

Soccer: will be run in two divisions and can be mixed or straight teams but everyone will be playing each other (9 a side on the field (Grades 5 & 6) - only 12 in a team and 7 a side on the field (Grades 3 & 4) only 10 in a team. Children must have shin guards and bring our own referees.

 

Good luck to all teams competing next Friday.

O'Connor Fitness Clinics

Students from O'Connor in Year 11 conducted fitness and games clinics with Year 5 students. This is a program that will run over 3 sessions and O'Connor students will guide a variety of different activities. St Mary's students enjoyed the activities and O'Connor students were fantastic with their delivery of the drills and rotations. Thank you to O'Connor teachers and students for this experience.
